Not sure if this is the appropriate sub-forum. However, I have a dream - a dream where I can create a slackware-compliant package using one of the included compiling options in Vector. Why I hear you ask? Simple - I can't fit/find dev tools for Puppy, and given that both Puppy and Vector play nicely with Slack packages, it seems that I should be able to find a suitable work-around using the two.

This is mostly because I need either open1x or vpnc to work on my mobile machine. Preferably the former, as my uni is phasing out its VPN-secured wireless networks some time this year.

I imagine I'll need the source to pull this off but that's no problem. I'm also pretty sure that if I were trying to do this solely for one of my vector machines it'd be relatively simple - ./configure, ./make, ./make install and away I go.

Any help that could be offered in realising my dream would be greatly appreciated - I shall wish delicious cake upon them and their household.

It did. To an extent. It's now failing in other creative fashions. I'm starting to think perhaps this release of Open1X wasn't actually ready for release

I'm also happy to turn this over to someone with far better packaging experience than I have - I imagine there will come a time when it will be useful for Vector to have this particular wireless supplicant.

Source can be found here for any that are interested. uelsk8s, M0E, I wish I had better results to show for your help.
